Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, or maybe it was a combination of the two. The point is, you're ridiculing an organization that had already been going through a horrible season and now that it has gotten immeasurably worse for a bunch of people who have done absolutely nothing wrong, you're kicking them while they're down.
It's a completely low blow and since you're normally a decent poster, I genuinely am surprised that you'd do so.
